Optimum Discussion Size

Published by nh2008 at 9:00 pm under College Life, Uncategorized Edit This

In response to a comment that I got I decided to elaborate on online college discussions. Now, as an online college student I can tell you that I prefer larger classes to smaller ones especially for online discussions. I post a lot of responses because I always seem to come up with something new to say. I have been in large and small classes. I have even taken an independent study course online where I was the only person in the class. I prefer doing online discussions where people actually want to participate. I have had classes where the subject material was very hard and people did not understand the topics that we were discussing. We are supposed to read our text books and take information from it and cite it in our responses. This way even if you cannot think of anything to add, you can still get points for actually putting forth an effort and writing something. I like it and I think it is a good way to get to know my fellow classmates.
